Virtual shop hop: Glad Creations, Inc., Minneapolis, Minn.

The first time I saw a quilt was when my freshman year roommate was stitching the binding on hers by hand one of the first nights we spent in the all girls dorm at Augustana College. I don’t remember much about the quilt except that it was bright, modern and I couldn’t believe that someone my […]

Singer goes retro for its newest machine

My first sewing machine was a Singer and I loved it. My grandparents got it for me when I was in grade school. It sat mostly unused until I found myself incredibly bored one day after I graduated from college and took up quilting. From then on I used the machine almost every day for […]

My first quilts, don’t look too close

I’ve been without a sewing machine for a week while mine was being cleaned and repaired. Why I always wait for it to break before getting it serviced, I can’t tell you. Probably procrastination combined with not wanting to be without the machine. In the meantime I’ve been scrap booking. I made it to 2009, […]

May block of the month

Big progress is happening this month in the Block of the Month. We’re going to finish the blocks for the first pieced border.  We’re making double pinwheels all from squares, which means there are no triangles to cut.

Feather fail

I gave feathers a try for the first time on the longarm, and as you can tell by the feathers going in two different directions above, it is safe to say it didn’t go so well. I’ve been taking Free-Motion Quilting with Feathers by Angela Walters on Craftsy. I’ve taken other classes from Angela on […]

Thread stand makeover

Of the luxuries I’ve missed most about having a dedicated sewing space, a thread stand is definitely in my top five. Not only do I love the look of having my thread on display, it is a lot easier to find what you’re looking for when it is neatly displayed on the wall instead of […]
